Research Lab Application

Posted on January 28, 2018

Open to 5C faculty/staff who are interested in working collaboratively across 5-C campuses and across disciplines to study environmental issue(s) in East and/or Southeast Asia. Research Labs will produce at least one academic product, such as a working paper, article, book, art piece, etc.

Funding for two Research Labs, composed of four faculty/staff, are available each year for research activities starting academic year 2018-2019. Each Research Lab will receive: $10,000 for stipends, and $15,000 in support (for supplies/travel/funds to hire students as research assistants. We do not wish to fund food-related expenses unless they are related to travel).

We look to fund Research Labs that meet the guiding principles of EnviroLab Asia, especially cross-disciplinary and cross-campus collaborations.

Research Lab participants will be asked to partake in assessment activities, and other reporting to the Henry Luce Foundation, which supports EnviroLab Asia.
